Well, finally got lucky and got a day off work. Went to cedar to try my luck at pulling cranks. Ended up having 8 keepers, 7 shorts, 10 bass, 5# cat and a bunch of stripe. Was a successful day for me, was my first time actually catching a decent amount of fish. Caught them on the edge of creek channels in about 30ft of water, cranks were anywhere from 60ft to 150ft behind the boat. Didn't really seem to matter how far back no depth was better than the other to me. When the shad balls would cover the screen we would catch something. Best colors were Sardis shad and solid pink.
